RCMP say too early to know what happened in Broncos crash

REGINA — Police say it’s too early to say what happened in a fatal bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team and whether charges will be laid.

RCMP Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki says what is certain is that a tractor-trailer was in the intersection when the truck and the team bus collided on April 6.

“All of our efforts are dedicated to determining why the tractortrailer unit was in the intersection,” Zablocki said Thursday. “We know the road conditions were clear and the sun was shining at the time of the collision.”

Sixteen people — including 10 players — were killed and another 13 people were injured. The driver of the semi-trailer was not hurt.

Zablocki said there are still many unanswered questions and an investigation of such magnitude is measured in weeks or months, not days.
